The Accountable Church

6/18/2023

Instead of judging morally, the Corinthian church boasts in their open tolerance of sinful lifestyles. Paul condemns their unwillingness to condemn sin and equips them with the necessary tools for doing so. It’s clear from Scripture that Christian morality and ethics have to be in the center of the marketplace of ideas. This begins in the church with elders holding flocks accountable to the Word of God. Elders are not only overseers in the church, they are judges, truly “ruling” elders. The problem with the Corinthian Christians is their willingness to go to legal courts to resolve matters yet they were unwilling to judge the immorality within their midst!
I Corinthians 6:1-8

    About the Series

    Paul’s First Epistle to the church in Corinth is a letter full of love and sorrow. Love for God’s Word and His Church is present on every page and sorrow for a church that has given over to the divisive wantonness of a real-world “Vanity Fair.”
